Thanks for your help. I have upgraded to openldap 2.2.27 on your advice but I have the same problem.
Just to be clear, I should emphasize that a basic ldap search from a mac (ie. ldapsearch) actually works. Here's an example of one that works: > ldapsearch -x -h "foo.uwaterloo.ca" -D "uid=testguy,ou=People,dc=tcl,dc=com" > -W -b 'dc=tcl,dc=com' 'objectclass=posixAccount' Furthermore, the id command works as I expect it to: >id testguy uid=521(testguy) gid=502(cscfadm) groups=502(cscfadm) It is just when I take the final step and try to actually authenticate a user that the server crashes. Eg. > su -l testguy Passwd: ******* crash!
